Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has done more than any other governor to take on the higher education establishment that has been captured by the Left. The Left isn’t happy about the progress DeSantis has made, so the Biden administration has empowered unelected bureaucrats to undo what DeSantis has accomplished.
DeSantis, however, is not about to let unelected bureaucrats ruin his higher education reforms. So this week, he sued President Joe Biden’s Education Department, alleging that the federal government’s entire higher education financing system is both unconstitutional and in violation of the Administrative Procedures Act. DeSantis has a strong case, he should win on both claims, and the nation will be much improved for it.
The underlying issue is the seven accreditation agencies the Department of Education has empowered as gatekeepers for federal higher education financing. Simply stated, if your school does not get a seal of approval from one of these seven accreditors, students can’t use federal loans or grants to help pay for tuition.
